Dan Connolly Took the Sun Buyout and is Leaving

Late December. No official destination.

Sad to hear, but I can't blame him. Glad I got to meet him and get an autograph in his book. He sure seems like a great guy!

He's one of my favorites.

Oh noes who will ask the hard hitting questions now?

Dan is universally respected as a National Baseball writer. He predicted the Toronto BlueJays and The KC Royals as AL finalists in February. Certainly no homer.

Can he take Schmuck with him?

Seconded.

Good luck and nice job, Dan.

Who said it was going to be a quick, or a clean, or a painless, death?

DC will be missed. He's a knowledgeable and a respected member of the 4th estate. Best wishes to Dan.

Baltimore is too small of a market to keep big name talent. I presume he goes to New York.

This is a shame. Connolly is a good reporter and writer.

I'm not in the know with these things. Why was he bought out? Fill a pimp in!
